January 2017 Steampunk Festival

Yesterday Terry and I checked out what's called the Steampunk Festival being held at Renninger's in Mount Dora, FL

We arrived early and walked around for about an hour and a half before we had to leave.

It was really interesting to see the various folks walking around in unique costumes; checking out the wide variety of antiques being sold; and coming across unusual creations made using pieces of metal and glass. Even the music was unique.
While walking around, I came across a vendor selling old door knobs, knockers, locks, vintage keys, etc. I picked up a hand full of various size keys to have on hand for sketching.

Keys close to actual size.

Stillman & Birn Beta; Pilot Falcon fountain pen / Lexington Gray ink

Although I took several photos, I didn't get what I now wish I had showing more of the folks wearing costumes and other various attractions. We left before the real action started (which I believe was a show put on by several in costume). Oh well........maybe next time.

About Me

Art hobbyist / sketcher / watercolorist who loves sharing with the hopes it might encourage others in their journey with sketching and painting.
Started out 30 plus years ago painting in acrylic on wood, glass, and metal surfaces until I was introduced to watercolor in 1991. A medium I fell in love with immediately.
Over the past few years, I have been drawn into Pen and Ink as well as the Art of Journaling or keeping an Artist's Journal which is my new love!
Expanding my horizons a bit, I've been playing with digital sketching as well.
